Units of measure

I have an interesting thing about units of measure

El Capitan in Yosemite is 3,000 feet tall.

To get that perspective, I need to know how much that is in miles and if not miles then yards.

Ok, about .6 miles. So, just over half a mile.

A blue whale weighs 300,000 pounds.

I need that in tons. Ok, so 150 tons. Fine.
 
That bugs me sometimes too. I do the same thing with the pounds. If somebody tells me "feet per second" I have to go figure how fast that is in miles per hour.
